Jack. Didn't you come see me in Hawthorn Nv some years back. I thought it was you. You use to be my driver didn't you.

Thanks Jack, they are also in the little video. Wonder if they are doing ok? Both of them were really good guys. I trusted them alot.

No, I haven't really had the chance to get back to him. I work 4-12+ almost every night and at my age, I need the extra daylight hours to recharge my batteries, example: last night I went in at 4:PM and got home at 6:AM this morning. It's always different, but this coming weekend I'm off Friday thru Monday.

You know I knew your name but couldn't place a face with it till I saw one of the old pictures you have on your page. Bang! Like a gun shot, it all came back. You worked with Friend? on the infantry/mortar track right?  4.2 mortar if I remember right  There was another guy who worked that track from Buffalo New York.  I can’t remember his name? I think he went up for Sgt, but didn’t get it.  Everything’s kind of fuzzy but it’s coming back  Great to hear from you too!!!

This was the third design of the 2d Cavalry DUI, worn from 1924-1931. The sharp points on the ends of the bottom scroll again called for a redesign.
